so, i get to the point where the gear manager app goes to install the gear s plugin and then goes to that part of the play store and it says that its not compatible. So i went and downloaded the apk and manually install it and the install fails. What do you guys think im doing wrong?
No idea, for me it works on the way you describe. But I am using a Moto X Play.

I recently bought a Xelio 9" tablet (Android 4.0.4) and need to get a full version of an app that I've paid for onto it. Seems like the easiest way would be to side load the Play Store onto the tablet and then log into my Google account and recover that app. So, that's where I'm stuck. I downloaded the 'com.android.vending-4.1.10' apk to the SD card and then used ES File Explorer to navigate to it and install it. Seemed to install fine... that was until I attempted to open it and I get an error 'Unfortunately Google Play Store Has Stopped' and I can't get any further. Do I need to copy the apk to the /system/app directory and change permissions or is there something else I should do/try?
The tablet doesn't have GAPPs but it does seem to have Gmail & Maps even though I didn't try to open them yet. Thought that was odd since it wasn't supposed to have any Google apps from the factory but sure 'nough, there they were.
Thanks for the help.
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Try another version.
I successfully am using 'com.android.vending-4.0.27.apk' with the same method you described.

On a Xelio tablet? Do I need to root and/or run another ROM? I think I saw something where someone was saying to flash CWM and then CM9 onto it so I was going to look into that next.
I tried 4.0.27 and still no dice.
I am using xelio tab 7" and I rooted and used an app called lucky patcher to install a modded play store. It has no relation to the play store at all plus the play store is installed as a system app and you can choose any version of the store starting from the android market to play store 4.3.10. Also it installs the original stores as well.
Update
It now has the latest play store update as of 5/14/2014.

I'm trying to connect my Gear 2 to my HTC One M8 running 5.0.1 and I'm having trouble installing the APKs. I managed to get passed the "Samsung gear stopped" error, but now I can't connect to the Gear. I found some installation instructions but it mentions installing the "GearManagerStub.apk" to SYSTEM/APP and I can't figure out how to do that.
Does anyone have solid installation steps I can follow? I'd appreciate it.
Update - I have the Samsung Gear app running, and the Gear 2 is paired with my phone via bluetooth, however when I select "connect", the application does nothing.

Looks like it will not work with M8 on lollipop or any non-Samsung with lollipop.

Actually I got it working a couple of days ago. So far, everything is working great.
Did this with unrooted HTC m9 and unrooted Gear 2 with latest FW.
Deleted all the files installed on phone from gear manager.
Download latest GM files (extract/ed from APK)
Install every apk except Host Manager and install Gear Manager App as last
Open GM and connect your Gear 2. As soon as it tries to install Host Manager hit home button/go to your file explorer App on your Phone and install Host Manager 2.2.14100299
Open GM again and cancel Host Manager installation.
Have a little patience and it should show you the option to accept the terms.
Set Notifications in GM App on your phone.
If you prefer Root for Gear then you can root your Gear without problems and you don't have to do this all over again.
Sideloading APK's working fine, had S Voice running but coulndn't connect to watch yet.
Changed Bootscreen, sounds and more without problem.

Afaik the only option to use Galaxy Apps and get the link in GM is to change buildprops to GT-I9500 fe but i don't use that option and my M9 is the only phone i have atm which isn't rooted.
I have notifications fully working and contacts are listed on my watch.
Search XDA for some Apks made compatible for this watch like Gear Web., works great. Well, even Watch Styler is working flawless.
thanks man

Tried crazy to get it working with my HTC One but it doesn't work. i changed my build.prop too but could not get the gear working with the mobile. I guess it has something to do with lollipop. However, i can use market on my samsung s5 active. This is bad publicity for samsung lollipop. I want to get rid of Samsung this is why i want my gear 2 to work with HTC so bad. Though i could get it working, but the galaxy market store is not accessible until or unless i downgrade it to kitkat. i have seen plenty of workarounds in Xda to make almost any android working with the gear. (means using each and everything the gear is mend to do with the samsung phone).
I might switch for moto 360 if this doesn't work
Thanks for your help buddy!!

Search XDA for the latest Galaxy Apps apk (hint: Galaxy S6 topic, find latest GM aswell), download and install the apk. When u changed buildprops to fe: GT-I9500 with the other changes, Brand and MF it should allow you to use the store.

Hello everyone,
I just installed CM12.1 (the latest snapshot available for Samsung Galaxy S5) and I'm unable to use the Gear Manager. I tried installing it from the Play Store as well as some linked APK's, but every time I launch it I get this error:
The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorised way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again.
This is a really ****ty error message - what in my OS exactly am I supposed to check
Anyway, after some googling I've been unable to find a solution. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Similar issue so < bump >
I know it isn't simply that I have rooted the phone, because when I go back to stock I root the stock lollipop and the Gear Manager still works, so it must be something in Knox or something Samsung specific that is missing from the CM ROMs
any advice would be appreciated
Just curious, I rooted my Note 10.1 a month ago, have not installed any Roms as of yet, When I go to the the Play store, I don't get the uninstall option on any of my install apps, I only get the open feature. I can still uninstall using a 3rd party app, or the OS system, but just curious why this is
Its not normal and never happened to me .
No one has had this issue, would installing an updated version of the Play store help, even though I don't have a new Rom installed, what is the latest Play APK ??
I did install the latest version APK 6.4.13 and still have the same issue, is it something with the process of which how I rooted my device ?? Please advise, I surely can't be the only that has had this issue before ??
Hey
I rooted my LG Nexus 5X yesterday and was able to install lineageOS and run it successfully. But today, I noticed that I am unable to get the Gear S2 to be paired with the phone in the morning. And when I tried in the evening, I uninstalled the Gear Wearable app(which isn't compatible with the device according to Play Store, but I tried an apk which installed in the morning) and tried reinstalling it with the same apk, but this time, it didn't get installed. I just keep getting "App not installed" when I try to install the apk with the inbuilt package installer.
Thanks for your help.

Apoorv
So, getting the watch to work is going to involve editing the build.prop file. You will need a file editor(like Total Commander) and superuser permissions(Root). Edit all mentions of "LG" To "HTC".
You will also need to install the apps needed to support the watch via apks.
